Windows Service Install Ends in Rollback

Question

When I try to install a Windows service:

c:\\Windows\\Microsoft.NET\\Framework64\\v4.0.30319\\installutil

I get, what looks to be, some success messages and som

Answer 1

I experienced the same and the issue for me was that a service with the same name was already installed. So in order to install the new service I had to uninstall the older services. I am learning how to create and setup windows services and thus the naming conflicting. Tried uninstalling the service first through:

c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\installutil -u servicename.exe

Once this statement executes successfully, install your service and it should succeed without any rollbacks.
